I know, I know.. two posts in as many weeks – I’m turning into a prolific blogger again (don’t worry, it won’t last!). Anyway, I had a question in the Ask Lammo postbag last time that I started to answer but realised that my answer was getting rather on the large side and so... 

Once again in no particular order… To everyone who’s been to Think Vis before, raved about it and persuaded me that a 650 mile road trip over the course of a weekend was going to be a great idea. You weren’t wrong! To Dom and the whole Think Vis team for putting on exactly what affiliates... 

Here’s a new one for me – a rant on someone else’s behalf (although I have had this happen to me in the past hence why it’s got my back up) I spotted the following tweet from fellow affiliate Purple on Friday: Now, it’s perfectly acceptable for a merchant to ask an affiliate... 

Don’t think this is a Scrooge/Grinch type post – I love Christmas, I love opening presents and I love giving presents to others. Every year though, I start to receive gifts and cards through the post from various companies and individuals in Affiliate Land – Now don’t get me... 

A huge proportion of my working day is spent helping newbies out, answering questions about Affiliate Marketing in general, as well as SEO, web design, marketing, PPC, and all those other things that I used to know nothing about. I’ll be honest with you – sometimes it’s frustrating... 

Been a while since I handed out one of these awards. These guys are more than deserving though, having pissed me off as BOTH a customer and an Affiliate! First as a customer.. I booked a “twin” hotel room through them. Which on arrival at the hotel wasn’t a twin, but a single. If I... 

In a blatent rip off, erm.. I mean homage to Kirsty’s “Ask Kirsty” series, I thought I’d take the time to answer some of your questions here on Lammo. Well it sure beats thinking of things to blog about! Unlike Kirsty I won’t be offering in-depth analysis of your PPC campaigns,... 

Have I ever told you how much I HATE Link Building? OK, Maybe just once or twice. But the fact remains that it’s one of the single biggest factors that can move your website from relative obscurity (anywhere from page two onwards of Google results) to the land of untold riches (a.k.a The top of... 

I have long been an advocate of attending conferences and networking events. I have attended many in my time in Affiliate Land, but somehow I’ve never made it any of the four Think Visibilities. The latest one, held on the Saturday just gone was no exception as it clashed with my niece’s... 

Continued from Part II… Part Three: 2006 to 2010. Knock it all down and start again. My return to Affiliate Marketing wasn’t exactly a joyous occasion, it was more of a firefighting experience. Balancing the books was pretty much impossible. I had £3,000 left on the company overdraft (which... 

Continued from Part I Part Two: 2003 to 2006: Making a fortune, losing a fortune. Walking away. Forced back. So where were we? Oh yeah, Adwords came along, and totally changed the game for me, and a lot of other affiliates. We were making a good living before, but once Adwords hit these shores, the... 

It was my brother’s birthday on Sunday. Which is nice and all, and not really relevant to Affiliate Marketing. Except that 1st August isn’t just the day my brother was born, it was also the day that my career in Affiliate Marketing was born (albeit there’s a bit of an age gap between... 

7th January 2002.. My first day as a Full time affiliate. I’d been working part time on my affiliate business for just short of 18 months before handing in my notice at the Day Job from Hell, giving myself a few weeks off for Christmas, New Year and Good Behaviour, and starting afresh to concentrate... 

There’s been a fair bit of debate recently about More Niche‘s decision to introduce “Split Commissions” on their weight loss pill product Proactol, the idea being to reward not only the last referrer as pretty much every other affiliate program does, but to also award the first... 

Lammo in Mourning – Well, it finally happened.. Plymouth Argyle were relegated from the Championship last week, and we’re going to be plying our trade against such giants as Rochdale, Yeovil and Bournemouth next season. Heck, we might even be playing Aldershot Town in a league fixture next...
